Whether you're aiming to master the art of swinging through the city as Spider-Man or tackling a specific challenge, understanding a key mechanic in *Marvel Rivals* can significantly enhance your gameplay. Let's dive into what a Spider-Tracer is and how you can leverage it during matches.
The term "Spider-Tracer" frequently appears in *Marvel Rivals*, yet the game itself doesn't provide a clear explanation. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an opponent after using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on consoles and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn't deal significant damage, it's crucial for Spider-Man mains to utilize it effectively. The Spider-Tracer can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a solo battle.
Understanding the mechanics of the Spider-Tracer is one thing, but mastering its use is another. The Web-Cluster comes equipped with a five-shot load, allowing you to deploy up to five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. To apply a Spider-Tracer, simply hit your opponent with the Web-Cluster. While the initial impact causes minimal damage, the real advantage comes with your follow-up moves.
When an enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks are significantly enhanced, and in some cases, the mechanics of the move change. Here's how Spider-Man's moves are affected by a Spider-Tracer:

Landing a Spider-Tracer is straightforward, but the real skill lies in choosing the right follow-up. For maximum impact, consider using the Amazing Combo, which can deal an impressive 110 damage when combined with a Spider-Tracer. This can catch your opponent off guard, allowing you to finish them off with a basic Spider-Power attack.
Using Get Over Here! can be tricky because, with the Spider-Tracer, you'll be pulled towards your opponent. This can be advantageous when an enemy infiltrates your backline, but it's riskier if they're backed by their team. Fortunately, Spider-Man's mobility allows for quick escapes, minimizing the risk of using Get Over Here!.
